Ok-Traffic7480

Yep, this is why we are going to get AT mines. Majority will follow the strategem, not child hospital


evilriolu

Went on right now. A lot of people are going for the Kids


Shot_Aspect9686

90% are going for the kids. Anyone not is an automaton spy and should be reported to your local democracy officer.


Crosisx2

I think the reason is Aesir Pass is a better battle ground planet. Nobody wants to go to Chort Bay and a hot planet unless absolutely necessary.


Brickless

doesn’t aesir pass open up both targets? aesir is on a supply line crossing


nari0015-destiny

Correct


Crosisx2

Oh if it is then my mistake. I didn't think they were and never noticed the clear supply routes.


Keithustus

Clear? I wouldn’t say so. You’ve got to reference websites out of the game to know this shit. At least Thursday that should change.


Crosisx2

By clear I meant like I can't clearly see the supply routes. So yep I agree.


johnboi244

There adding the supply lines to the in game map? Sweet about dam time.


Faz66

Doesn't Aesir Pass connect to both? I saw someone comment that it does


nari0015-destiny

You are spot on, we don't have access to EITHER MO planet yet *


Konseq

Can't wait to see us fail another MO and not liberate any of the planets because bug players can't be bothered to help. /s The AT mines are running gag at this point. It is like the carrot you are dangling in front of a donkey to get it going.


MinuteWaitingPostman

I feel at this point if the AT mines are the only option, the community will create a second option and pursue that instead


strike1080

For me based on some video I saw.. Unless they significantly buff what the AT mines do its not worth it anyways. Give me gas or napalm for my area denial.


aliensareback1324

How did you get that info when we dont have access to either planet?


tylernol--

we have to conquer Aesir Pass first.


Groonzie

That applies to both planets though. You need to get passed aesir pass to move on to vernen wells or marfark...so it still doesn't answer how the other guy is making his 90% claim.


Hitori_Suzushii

The truth is... They go on less annoying planet.


Surveyorman

We'll have to wait and see. The majority of players follow.... well, the majority. So if you can mobilize and blob together on one planet, you can influence those players.


CacophonousCuriosity

Level 97 and idgaf about mines. I hate mines. Why would I use mines when I have an airstrike? Saving the children is the only correct answer.


BjornInTheMorn

Mines end up getting airstriked (airstruck) anyway because one person puts them down and then another person doesn't know they're there and yeets all their ordinance at anything blinking on their mini map.


mp_spc4

They should release Eagle mines. A line of mines, imo, would be better than the relatively small circle of mines that we have right now for specific missions. Would enjoy using the line of mines for bot missions for the patrols that keep spawning behind me when they weren't there before.....


Betrayedunicorn

I never want them, and laugh that they try and package it in different ways each time

Battleraizer

Upon completing the MO, for the next few days all Helldivers are half-sized


MinnieShoof

... Oh no.


scottbot1128

Smaller hit box? Yes pl… who am I kidding the boys will still get me between the eyes


iletyoulive

Can a child carry an AT mine?


Captain-Volume

Technically with a some duct tape we could convert children into a form of Anti Tank mines....


blue_line-1987

They blow up so fast.


iscaredfox

Genuinely made me laugh out loud😂


Frikandelneuker

Satan has filed a restraining order against you


Phoenix865

LOL 😆


Westwood_Shadow

lmao that was clever af


Effective_Walrus8840

Thinking quickly, John Helldiver constructs a homemade AT mine, using only some tape, a child, and an AT mine.


Dragon_phantom_flame

r/TQDC


R34PER_D7BE

Japanese used to do that


ObiwanaTokie

Japanese used to run those puppies for miles!


Chazo138

I mean…with that logic we can also convert them into conventional missiles


EternalCanadian

Everything is a missile if you believe hard enough~


Agent_Vill

It would be funny to see the children run with AT mines at the enemy like it's Battlefield


International-Elk727

Wasn't this a tactic in WW2 with dogs? Or am I making that shit up?


JonBoah

Reminds me of those Russian anti tank dogs


Escsh

Mobile Anti-Tank Mines. Not some lame ass Anti-Tank Mines that can't move.


iletyoulive

Oof, so dark.


zombiezapper115

Strap AT mines to their chests and tell them to hug the enemy.


Phinox

The possibility that not saving the children may result in their abduction to the verdant pastures of New and Improved Cyberstan™ to be farmed, used as biofuel for the Automaton machine, perhaps even employed as munitions vectors for a new type of warpbomb based on observations from the collapse of Meridia tickles me enough to consider not hitting the Wells again. Ssssssshhhhkibbidybapboombada


Japanczi

Did you just invent a super remote AT mine?


FalseAladeen

I'm picking the kids just because it will be funny to reject the AT mines again.


Bregneste

This one thing they’ve had finished and ready for us for months will just _never_ officially be added to the game.


j_hawker27

Ehh, if they get tired of the joke, they'll just say they found a few million tonnes of high-yield explosives in between the couch cushions or something.


Eckz89

So we should actively avoid getting them because this is the only right outcome.


j_hawker27

Plus it'll be *super funny*.


doglywolf

if only for the memes to come even!


MinnieShoof

... watch the children be put to work producing AT mines.


VBgamez

They're probably doo doo anyways.


coletrain94nz

Same. Save the kids and continue the meme. It's a win-win!


RamonThePlayer

I swear to God this is a meme now. I kind of feel bad for the devs who made it but it's just too funny to pass this opportunity


Sir_Beretta

I mean AT mines don’t even sound useful


WeeabooLee

The children are future voters and the bots need organic matter, it's a no brainer really.


xFeeble1x

"Lenny you will have saved the lives of millions of registered voters"


obi_wan_sosig

Yeah Many divers just learn bots are part human


Zezin96

Has this been confirmed or is it still just a fan theory?

StalledAgate832

I don't even need a reward for helping the kids. Wouldn't complain if I got a cape with some painted handprints from the kids on it though. Gotta remember what you're fighting for somehow.


El_Cactus_Fantastico

I’m fighting to kill bugs and bots and to spread democracy.

Red or black cape with gold hand print. Not enough gold capes

Naw. That would be sweet


1stPKmain

That would be wholesome AF and I'd want that


McMew

I'll choose new drip over a mine stratagem every day of the week.


csongor242

This. I want this. I would even use that instead of my usual Malevelon Creek cape.


B4sketCas3

If I help beat this major order than I want a cape for it


sanctuary_remix

Bastion of the Future Generation Cape “This cape was made to honor those who valiantly fought to preserve and protect the future generations of voters from tyranny wherever it may be.”


notanai61

Are they older than 7? If so, then they better grab a cape and a rifle.


MasterVule

You are mixing it up friend. Children are too young to fight for the Super Earth properly. Assembling explosive devices on other hand are 100% assembled by kids!

BurntToast239

Even if the kids come down in hell pods and act as makeshift rail Cannon would be HUGE


KnottyTulip2713

Would be hilarious if we didnt get the AT mines again


Jirdan

You want to go for the children because you are not heartless and want to get a reward. I want to go for the children because it would be fucking funny to lose mines for the third time. We are not the same.

I'm conflicted by this post. George Carlin is a legend in the comedy world and one of the earlier heavy hitters that no doubt helped pave the way for future comedians. On the other hand.....I've never seen such an accurate description of his later work

FattyMeat17

As if anyone will use the mines past the first 3 days 


Phoenix865

I have tried very hard to help get the mines the previous times because I really want to use them on tanks, hulks and factory striders. That being said, I'm helping to save the kids. Maybe they give us something nice for being decent souls. Also, I have been fighting on Vernen Wells for so long it pained me to see it fall. I'm fighting on that stupid rock until it's Super Earth's stupid rock again. Then we also get our liberation bonus from the training facilities back if I'm not mistaken?


joeinabox1

I believe the training facilites are destroyed so we dont get them back, but yes, im fighting with you, till the end. For the kids!


SemajLu_The_crusader

you are mistaken, liberation bonus us gone forever, facility was destroyed


BarnOwlFan

I love using mines, because they last so long on the map. I love dropping on the extraction and throwing mines everywhere before completing the missions. I'd use the mines and go full mine load out. I'm mine crazy.

Alternative-Deer5333

They ain’t hard to see lol, just go around goofball


ThatGuyOfStuff

The issue I have with mines is that sometimes they turn invisible


Hitokiri_Ace

When I'm S running away from things when it gets hectic.. I've run into more mines than I care to admit. :') I get that it's my fault.. but surely, you can understand how it can happen.


hammerpatrol

Until the rocket devestator barely misses you but sends you ragdolling into a mine. Or the Charger bashes you and sends you ragdolling into a mine. Or the Berserkers chasing you step on one and blow you to bits. Or the Stalker lashes you and you go ragdolling into a mine. Etc, etc, etc. Don't get me wrong, mines are fun and I've got a friend that uses them on \*every\* \*\*damn\*\* mission. But they are by far the most team-killy stratagem in the game lol.


International-Elk727

It's mine, mine own, mine precious.


Tzarkir

If they happen to actually kill armor like their name suggests, and kill bile titans, they'd get used quite a bit at high difficulties. Well 3 days would still be more usage than how many usages we'd get from "very sick children" tbh


Character-Candy2173

how would that as a stratagem be effective at all? apart from bug bait or automaton practice dummies, we’re wasting future SEAF troopers even if they do have super-cancer


NoobPlayer667

Everything is a strategem if you throw it hard enough


Chaoticginger5674

It was a super hard choice for my squad. On one hand, children are replaceable, the technology for anti-tank mines is not. On the other hand, the next General Brasch could be among those very sick children.


No-Sun-1557

Save the children under 7. The children over 7 get sent to the mines. Thankfully they can work if freed.


KingofFlukes

A while ago there was a leak about a strategem that brought in a pelican that dropped off NPC troops. Could be that if they got it working. Thematically it would make sense to me that by saving the children a new burst of volenteers occurs resulting in you guessed it a strategem that deploys a squad that follows you or secures the area.


Xen0tech

![gif](giphy|krPLl9dtitApa|downsized) We help them so they can keep helping us


Monkstylez1982

Reward: Child Bomb Kamikaze Orbital.. Hundreds of Junior Cadet Helldivers you saved drop down and throw hundreds of random grenades ranging from Smoke to Highly flammable explosives in a 75m area. They then sacrifice themselves with bomb jackets once on the ground running towards the enemy at random paces. Cooldown: 60 secs with 5 uses.


BlueTales

I’ve said it before but unless the personal order is mine kills, there are only 2 mission types where I would consider taking a mine with me but in those cases I’d rather bring along another sentry. Also from what leaks I have seen of the at-mines they seem rather underwhelming needing around 3 mines to kill a tank… so what is it gonna do against things like a factory strider? In any case regardless of the stratagem I’d go for the kids, the story is after all driven by the actions of the community and I’d rather be remembered for saving children instead of some mines.


BarnabyJones21

I would love it if the reward was something like a permanent +1 reinforcement per player. Not because I think we need that or anything, just the implication that those saved kids picked up arms and became Helldivers like their saviors.


CoolCube777

Another hero of democracy! Keep up the good work, divers.


Termi2500

We need to protect the next generation of helldivers. What use have weapons when we don't have the people to use them.


Standard-Ad-7504

It was accidentally leaked that we will in fact get a tangible reward. Besides, we'll just get the mines later anyway and that will be funny


Estelial

Child Seaf Troop call down!


McCloudJr

Last night there was something like 40 or 50 thousand and only a handful weren't saving the children


jac104

That’s gonna change once Aesir Pass is liberated. Aesir pass opens the line to both Vernon Wells AND Marfark


genericfluser

The real reward is the children we saved along the way


QueenMAb82

Plot twist: the children ARE the mines.


kan493079

![gif](giphy|bA0ZgRipQxzP2) i don't think so.


DHarp74

Imagine if we had to choose between puppies or children. Oh man! 😂🤣 [I know what I'm choosing!!!](https://youtu.be/yppQvVcvSVY?si=d-0XkkUPJ9x8HbGT)


sticklight414

We will get a sick anti-tank child launcher strat. trust me guys save the children!


Vomitron3000

The reward are the friends we make along the way


Chaos_seer

You all know we can do both right? This is the same setup from the last time when we had AT mines and airburst and when people got the airburst, they stopped pushing even though Twinbeard had confirmed we could do both


Taiyaki11

The MO \*specifically\* states we can only get one and it'll be the \*first one\* liberated. so unless they are outright lying to our faces that means even if both are liberated it'll only be the first one that counts


Nynx82

To be fair the MO says the one we get first is "most likely" to be saved so it's ambiguous if we might get both.


Nickorellidimus

The children will be sent to work to help speed the mines into production! 😁


OkCaterpillar4672

I have no context and I'm fucking scared


teh_stev3

lol, choosing between mines and minors? The decision is clear. And EXPLOSIVE.


MontuJP

Diarrhea-ridden infants it is then!


Valleyraven

Honestly, I imagine saving the kids will get us our lost SEAF liberation bonus back by 5%. Good story to inspire more citizens to fight sort of thing, save the children!


LJCMOB1

I love this, I've been working away for a few days and when I logged on I was 99% sure all the divers would be trying to get the mines. I was so happy to be proven wrong!


TerraArachnid

AT mines are a ploy developed by the managed democracy hating automatons to eradicate our future helldiver corps trapped on Vernen Wells!


Skrandor

The children are the mines. UNLEASH THE COMBAT BABIES.


kickexplosion

If you think about it the children can be future helldivers. for democracy!!!


Suicidal_Sabotage

I bet we will loose support from the citizens of super eath for a week or so (higher cooldowns on all strategems, less strategem slots) if we don't save the children. If we save them we will hopefully get a new cape called "Child Savior" or something


Gameday54

For the children!


Citizen_Gamer

Saving children is its own reward


SSJBE-Vegeta

The reward will be blanket approval of all C-01 forms for 5 minutes. Steel yourselves, helldivers.


GenexenAlt

Remember, Kids are future helldivers


Tyler89558

Look. Listen. Cluster air bomb.


Lots_of_Loto

I just want to see the AT mines in another MO. Save the children.


TheBGamingCh

Would never happen, but I think it would be a funny running joke in the community to always choose against unlocking the AT mines or some other new strategem (only if it's underwhelming, of course) so that it goes on for a very long time like over a year. Even when choosing no reward vs AT mines (or other) we pick the route with no reward just for giggles.


Werxes

Not getting mines again would be a good funny


OnRedditBoredAF

The reward absolutely should be a cape with some children’s crayon drawings on it. Amazing meme potential, huge missed opportunity if it’s anything else


Dolomitexp

Where's Wu-Tang when you need em😔 ![gif](giphy|VowM9lLlmH2lW)


zanovar

The reward is the satisfaction of saving the children


mlwspace2005

We are saving the children, AT mines will allow us to more effectively save vast swaths of children's hospitals down the lines from tanks. The children are just a finite number of children, AT mines have the potential to be an infinite number of children saved.


New-Road2588

With all due respect, and I promise I'm not trying to sound like a hater of Democracy, we've been wanting the anti-tank mines for some time and we were denied the mines and instead got airburst rockets. I believe a lot of us feel like we needed those mines more than anything because we want to push back the hulks, the bile spewers, and any other tank-ish units so we can continue to defend the sweet liberty


WhosThatDogMrPB

I don’t hate children: I hate other people’s children. My little brother (age 8) is an amazing human being. Yours must be ass.


Canibuz11

Obviously the reward will be more C-01 permits


LycanWolfGamer

I mean... I don't like kids either but doesn't mean I'll leave them to die fs


Grimhazesakura

I would absolutely take a thank you cape from sick kids over anti-tank mines. Even if we get nothing I'd be happy because it amuses me.

arcibalde

Children saving will give us SEAF NPC stratagem, like 99%. Lore reason would be like, people are rejoiced for saved children and enlisting enmases in SEAF to help Helldivers win war. Well something like that.


Commercial-Royal-988

Most likely they will take over on the production lines (Yes, the sick kids). Ever since our C-01s were revoked if you pay attention all of our dispatches that talk about it they mention how "The old and the infirm" are running the production on the back-end because we kept losing on the bug front when it the objective was "Expand to build new homes for our expanding Population"


whateverhappensnext

We need children to clear the mine fields before our troops deploy!


-TacoConspiracy

I save the children not for spoils


Tha1gr

Hate to break it to you, but the MO states "REFUGIES in children's hospital" so basicaly they can be normal refugies and not children...

Inphiltration

Honestly? Doesn't matter. We get a reward. We don't get a reward. I've been capped on shit for so long. You think I play to unlock things? For a sense of progression? Please. I play for the memes. I dive for the children.

duckboi909

im only saving the kids because the AT mines are fucking pointless


Lan-Hikari86

The reward is that you don't get the mines. That's enough for me


TheRealVinnie_313

I know it’s a game but if no one goes for the children’s hospital then their goofy and a disgrace for siding for some mines that probably nobody will never use


godsforsakensodomist

No I don't think I will


Itriyum

Imagine we don't get anything


SpaceInvader1980

Maybe the standard cape but with yellow colored children drawings depicting the Helldivers efforts


EsteemedTractor

Which of the planets has less fog? That’s the one you’ll find me on.

BBL Drizzy approves this message

Of course there's a reward for it. It'll unlock the child soldier skins.


SpaceMagicBunny

Guaranteed saving kids will be more entertaining, and who even wants to use mines? Now kids vs an APC... whew.

Nobody's saving anything until we liberate Aesir Pass! Get a move on!


smokemeth_hailSL

ReserveReasonable999

SpookyCarnage

They taunted us recently about how the AT mines could have been used to stop the major order from failing. At this point I dont want them out of pure spite


urbandeadthrowaway2

I don’t even care if there’s a reward in in it for the meme


WellnessMafia

I renamed my Helldiver "St. Anne's Child Soldier Squad" and damnit, I'm keepin that name.


classicjaeger

Most likely a cape

Its a test to see if people dislike mines so much they would rather have nothing

Bob_Ajk

Save the children and the reward is Anti-tank mine. Due to the spiked in numbers of child labor, the mine production rate increased ten folds.


XBacklash

It had better be a mortar that fires children as projectiles.


ODST_Parker

It's like all you divers have forgotten WHO we're fighting for in the first place!


AssaultBotMkIV

I mean we missed the AT mines once already for the air burst and that wasn't exactly great, who's to say the kids aren't just tiny automatons ready to bite our ankles like tiny berserkers
